Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello
I have studied your case.
I will advise you to investigate further like blood test.
Serum calcium. sr phosphate. alkaline phosphatase.
This can be due to imbalance due to parathyroidectomy.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and Tens may give you a great relief.
I hope I have answered your questions. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us. I will be happy to answer. Take care.
